So for backstory, I've lost 60 pounds and am planning to keep a healthy lifestyle. I usually always eat healthy but just like any other human being, I love a good restaurant meal every once in a while.
I still make sure I'm under my caloric limit but for example like tonight I was argued with about 2 things I hate when people think of the community. The first one was when my grandma brought up how it's dumb to get a low fat ranch when im eating a steak and chili also and brought up the age old "that's like going to McDonald's getting a big Mac and fries with a diet coke" and the others agreed with her. No, that is such a stupid argument to bring up. People have discredited stuff like that using snack cake and other junk food diets(not saying they are great choices but just for example). It's all about calories in vs calories out for many but people for some reason can't wrap their heads around that.
The 2nd thing happened later on when the grandma brought up diet drinks and said I "may as well drink regular soda with the aspartame in there", I'm guessing thinking of that study on rats in which there's not a direct comparison since the rats were given way too much in comparison. Now 90% of my drinks are just water but I do enjoy an occasional diet soda and I of course looked into numerous studies and what people have said before even embarking on this. This time I didn't correct her because obviously they didn't want to hear an argument judging by the first paragraph.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Just astounds me that people who haven't ever dieted can sit there and try to mock someone who's been doing it for a while and has researched every thing he does.
